Also there were some great kills in this film. I love that the last two films have basically treated the original T-Rex like an action hero and given her badass crowd-pleasing kills.

You go girl!

The Big bitch is included, thus it goes along with the others considering who's spearheading it.

Well how do you know they weren't feeding them lysine in that ****ing goat, huh? HUH?

****er.

There is a great, great, great, funny, hilarious, ****ing funny as shit scene with Chris Pratt and lava.

Dude, you're flailing, they ****ed up that element

who gives a shit. god you're a pedantic **** sometimes. life finds a way one who sucks the penis, remember?

LOL, I'm correct and you have blinders on similar to Star Wars

No, I don't.

No one gives a shit about a throwaway line from the first movie.

JW2 was really good. Entertaining popcorn action and dinosaurs ****ing shit up.

Shut the **** up Tribble War****.

What's the betting line that the one coming out soon is worse than the last one was?

It's better.

It's not

**** you

Dragons bro

Meh.

All I can say is if someone gives you the keys to a franchise like Jurassic Park/World and that’s the best you can come up with you should really retire from making movies. The whole thing was a boring set-up to

Yawn.

Damn, the last one was a steaming pile of dung.

Quite possibly the worst movie I’ve ever seen in a theater. How anyone could cry at any point during that movie is beyond me.

If that movie didn't make you feel some twinge of emotion for dinosaurs, you didn't give a shit about them as a kid.

This is true, that got me to but not to the point of crying. Reminded me of Sam Neil's 1st look

I liked it, in ways better than the last one. It definitely had you feeling for the dinosaurs in some parts.

This has already made $466 million overseas. When did it open overseas?

Thought it was okay. Previews make it look more epic than it was but it was enjoyable. My kids(9 and 7)loved it so there's that. Mostly a setup for the next one.

saw it today. I dont think the CGI in the second half of the movie was as good as the first 1/2. Blue and Claire looked fake AF in some scenes

This too.

BTW, your avatar — what’s your opinion on the Billy broo-ha-ha?

I saw it this morning, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

What a pile of shit

I just want to throw this out there: Pyroclastic flows can reach a thousand degrees and hundreds of miles an hour.

My 18-year-old cousin begged me to see this with him and I relented. Halfway through the film, he turns to me and apologies. He should have. This was hot garbage and a mess from start to finish. They wanted to have some huge epic, and they wanted to have some sort of horror thing, and they wanted to have some sort of mystery thing. None worked. None were ever going to work. Sure, they tug at the heartstrings of our childhood buy murdering a bunch of dinosaurs.

Of the multitude of disappointments, I think I am most disappointed by the fact that the black market purchasers weren't a bunch of food conglomerates. If they could clone a bunch of giant dinos on the cheap and then slaughter them by the thousands per year, we would have a whole new meat group to chow down on. **** Russians, too. Just in general.

This is yet another franchise that should have been murdered with poison gas after the first one was created. #1 is fantastic because we all felt the awe of seeing out first dinosaurs alongside the main characters.

Haven't seen the new one, but I hated JP in 1993. Gayer than Elton John and the little kids were abysmal. I didn't see the next two, I assume they were bombs.


Saw JW in 2015 only because of my son. Thiught it was really good. We watch it quite a bit at home. So vastly superior to JP.

I don't have any intention to watch this until it makes it way to Netflix/whatever. But I will go on record as saying that Bryce Dallas Howard his still hot as hell.

There's a limit to how much you can insult my intelligence within 2 and a half hours.

This movie went beyond that.

Just when I think you can't get any dumber. You go and say something like this.... and totally make yourself look like an even bigger dumbass.

I always thought she looked kinda weird, like back in the Lady in the Water days. I've warmed up to her look now though. I'd say she's pretty attractive. She was even in a Black Mirror episode and looked pretty fat but I still thought she was pretty good looking.

Other plot holes.

I dont think it was necessary for TG to ban Billy but whatever. they want to make a clean break from the old guard. Billy is still one of the few people who can score 800K+ and he briefly held the record again a few years ago.

I agree with TG banning Todd Rogers for false scores and I'm not surprised Billy is speaking on his behalf. I think Billy is just trolling for attention. Billy wants to be the only person to ever be thrown out of TG instead of sharing the glory.

She's like a young, hot Dr. Crusher.

Went to see this with my 13 year old since we’re out of town visiting relatives. First movie I’ve seen in a theater in years.
Fell asleep halfway through. The combination of the comfy recliner chair and a horribly written and even worse acted movie was too much. My son woke me after I’d been out for 5 minutes and asked If I wanted to leave.
We didn’t. It didn’t get any better though.

l liked her, think she hot in her own way.

I didn’t think it was that horrible as others. I agree with the plot holes, bad acting and being slow as hell in places comments. But still it’s a movie about Dinosaurs. Super hero and Dinosaur movies get a lot of leeway from me for plot holes and bending reality.

Obviously it could have been better. Yet, It’s a stupid special effects popcorn movie. It is what it is.

My boys keep talking about it every day so we will see it soon.

As BrC says it is what it is. A movie about Dinos and it's for kids.


Once again: it's for kids.

There's a kid in all of us.

Let him free once in awhile.

When you have kids, childhood is over

You'll never feel so old

im never having those little ****ers

The first JW was a below average crapfest. I’m hoping this one is much better.

Wish they could use the puppets for all the dino’s Like they did for the T-Rex in the original. Looks way more life like.

you ****ing morons have expectations way too high for a goddamn dinosaur movie

The first one was really good. The two after it weren't as good, but weren't the complete shit that these last two have been. I don't expect too much from mass produced cream filled pastries, but I expect something more than they've been putting out there over the last few years

Saw it today....that wide victory shot of a dino roaring over a fallen foe is tired as shit. I think they used it two or three times in this one. Also tired in the JP-verse is the hired military guy carrying out a villainous agenda. Lastly, I hate that the Asian dude has aged so well. Overall, it was so-so

Expecting something approaching a decent new plot, and decent writing, is too much to ask?

Both the plot and the writing were decent. This wasn't a Phantom Menace disaster by any means.

I mean...the scene with the tooth collector was just ****ing nailed. Best laugh I've had in a theater this year.

ROFL

Bro I'm gonna be honest, that shit gets me ****ing jacked.

If you don't want to see that you don't need to be going to these movies.

LOL at all you reeruns going to a dinosaur movie and expecting art.

I think you misspelled The Last Jedi.

Bullshit, I mentioned flaws from the 1st viewing, as I said before it seemed the writer never saw or paid attention to the details of the original JP.

Come on man................
Who goes to see a ****ing dinosaur movie for the writing?

I'll spoiler tag everything....

How about the subtle dig they took at Donald Trump in the beginning of the movie?

Yeah it's a repeat of the last movie where people are being hypercritical of a CGI movie. Weird that PB is actually one of the few being reasonable about it and recognizing it for what it is.

Personally, it didn't feel epic to me. I thought the last movie was more entertaining. The movie felt like it was in cruise control most of the way and never really kicked into that final gear. But it did feel more polished than the last.

Movies like JP, Transformers, Pacific Rim etc can be picked apart for days by people who choose to be anal about it. Stop taking shit so serious and let yourself be a kid and enjoy giant CGI shit fighting and ****ing shit up. That's what these movies are for.

I took my son and niece and they both loved it. My wife enjoyed it too but i think that's because she's been on a Chris Pratt kick lately.

You're one of the most anal retentive posters on the forum. I'd imagin you wouldn't enjoy this movie. Or any fun CGI movie for that matter.

That 2nd point isn't even a plot hole. That's just trying too hard to be a hater now.

The reason they were after Blue had nothing to do with genetics.

When you're hating on a movie for a perceived plot hole that isn't even a plot hole you KNOW you're being a hater.

LOL, I see you're ignoring the other points.

Dude, it's a mindless movie that went to shit in the last 30 minutes.

If you MISS key points of containment that set rules of the universe then just rename the movie and not involve the JP brand.

:shake:

With few exceptions, movies don't have to make sense in the real world, but they have to make sense in the world of the movie. And, also with few exceptions, writing and plot have to achieve some minimum standard.

The exceptions being Super Hero and Dinosaur movies

They cut Chris Pratt’s balls off and tried to make it a god damned social justice vehicle.
Horrible.

And giant robots...and giant robots that fight aliens from outerspace.

yes, also this.

No

These movies are all the same. They mess with nature, nature strikes back, evil military guy, dinosaurs are not evil, humans are, etc.

I for one am outraged a movie about dinosaurs wasn't realistic

Yes pretty much. Thats why im passing on this one. Just tired of them. They dont advance upon what you just said above. Not sure they can really?

Pivoting the narrative spin would be easy, but it runs counter to the current Hollywood agenda.

WTF is with you DC right wingers coming into movie threads and bringing your politics?

Every thread now has someone like you complaining about social justice warriors in movies. Even movies about Super Heroes, Dinosaurs and gigantic robots are somehow left wing political propaganda.

How about starting your own thread in DC about your political agenda? And we just talk movies in this forum.

But it's relevant to the movie, no? This SJW issue is RAMPANT in Hollywood right now (go venture into the Last Jedi thread if you dare for proof of this) and impacts the films being put out these days, imo. It's an issue worthy of being discussed in these threads.

I just think you don't like what he has to say about it.

Can someone explain to me the SJW parts of Jurassic World?

In hindsight it's easy to say that it was always going to be this way. Inclusion, tolerance and every other buzzword brought on by people who feel guilty have been part of mainstream culture since ive been alive. I'm 33 now, and can't recall a time when this wasn't a thing. Which tells me it was brought on by a previous generation.

That (too much SJW, not enough good movie) is a problem for movies, both in terms of quality and in terms of financial sustainability, and is a very important topic for media discussion. How do you not see that?

Can you identify the "Too much SJW" in JP Fallen Kingdom. My feeble mind is too indoctrinated to notice.

Recognition is the first step. Now figuring out how to resolve it is the next

Easy there mr. from-the-ghetto. Do you consider Variety to be a right leaning publication?
Here's a cut from their review:

...“Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” is a liberal pulp message movie, yet it treats itself with even more sobriety. The dinosaurs, it turns out, have been targeted by Mills to be sold off to the highest bidder — yes, it’s the first cautionary dinosaur-trafficking movie — and at certain points you may find yourself ticking off the themes. Greed gone rampant among the globalized gilded class? Check. The sinister potential of genetic engineering? Check. The need to protect endangered species? Check. The privatizing of military action? Check. The eerie implications of cloning? Check. The danger of weaponized dinosaurs? Check.

I didn’t find any of this stuff especially “fun,” though the cast members certainly treat the political/genetic/social fodder as if it meant something. Chris Pratt tones down the dude factor and exudes a lean-and-mean sincerity...
https://variety.com/2018/film/review...tt-1202829194/

If you disagree with any of the points made feel free to enlighten us but don't cry about facts being pointed out just because it dims your virtue signals.

This. For Christ's sake it's everywhere. I realize it will pass just like every other fad but it is currently at ridiculous proportions.

Globalized gilded classes are a conservative talking point. Ahem "Swamp rats", "Globalists", "George Soros"...any of that ring a bell?

Since when is genetic engineering a leftist issue? Uh, Stem Cell research says hello, which is conservatives are generally against considering you know...abortions. It's conservatives who generally bitch about man "playing god".

Well no shit, the movie's cast, as it's always been, is comprised of scientists who love dinosaurs. Them NOT feeling the need to protect them would be pretty 'effin out of character.

A common, played out theme that has no political implications unless you're trying to drive a narrative.

Not seeing the political left relationship here...

Jesus. This guy needs to get laid. You can tell the author is a perpetual victim.

Is it everywhere though?

Or has politics consumed you so much that you view everything through a red and blue lens? Because the shit posted from Vanity fair is a stretch, and the most political points are conservative talking points, not liberal. It's nonsense.

It is. There's no escape anymore. Entertainment's supposed to entertain. If I wanted a sermon I'd go to church. That's why the right's pushing back so hard. They're beyond sick and tired of it. They're being as nice as they can be for now

What a load of BS. Detox broke it down. Its the right wing seeing SJW everywhere in movies.


Does Hollywood slant liberal, of course. But, its been that way longer than you, me and our grandpa's have been alive. Thats nothing new. Taking umbrage when saw through the conservative bent is whats new.

The right has fallen prey to the Fox News demagogue, much as the left has fallen into a CNN Trump hysteria trap.

I see a whole bunch of looking for something that isn't intended. Applying political implications to things that never intended to be political. That's the symptom of the disease known as politics. I think it's been a few weeks, maybe a month since i've last posted in D.C.

For a reason.

Are there movies that virtue signal? Of ****ing course. Has that ever NOT been the case? And is it politically motivated, or is it a reflection of our culture?
